Dual Urinary Tract Pathology in a Frail Elderly Man.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A prostatic abscess is a rare but critical complication of urinary tract infections that may coexist with upper urinary tract involvement, such as pyelonephritis. This case report describes an 84-year-old frail gentleman with dementia who was admitted with a fall into the Accident and Emergency Unit. He was noted to be febrile, with suprapubic tenderness and raised infection markers. He underwent a CT trauma series, which revealed right kidney pyelonephritis with a prostatic abscess. A broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotic was started with no improvement, and the patient was not suitable for surgical drainage. He received multiple courses of long-term antibiotics, and his condition improved with the resolution of the abscess. Early imaging is generally indicated for patients with atypical presentations, poor response to therapy, or underlying immunocompromised status. In this case, it helped to confirm acute pyelonephritis and identify complications, including abscess formation.
